Mercedes-Benz W111/W112 Safari Seats
Rare Factory Bucket Seat Option • Original Red MB-Tex • Fits Coupes & Cabriolets
Offered for sale is a rare set of factory Safari Seats designed for the Mercedes-Benz W111 and W112 chassis. These seats were an uncommon optional upgrade that could be selected for both coupes and cabriolets, known for delivering a more sporting driving position compared to standard factory seating of the era.
Factory Option Safari Seats
Unlike the broader, softer, and more upright standard seats found in W111/W112 models, Safari Seats offered:
-
Sport-style bucket bolstering
-
Thinner profile with deeper contouring

A lower seating position for improved visibility and engagement
These characteristics made the Safari option extremely desirable among buyers who wanted a more driver-focused cockpit experience in an otherwise luxury-oriented chassis.

Why These Seats Matter
Factory Safari Seats are one of the most elusive interior options for classic Mercedes coupes and convertibles of the period. Their rarity, combined with their unique driving ergonomics, makes them highly sought after by collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts pursuing period-correct sporting upgrades. The presence of original MB-Tex, matching patina, and a complete front/rear set significantly increases desirability for high-level restorations or preservation-focused builds.
